Goji's Health Benefits

Users believe that goji extends life, strengthens the immune system, controls hypertension, relieves headaches, controls blood sugar among diabetics, supports eye and heart health, eliminates sexual dysfunction and menopause symptoms, relieves stress and depression, eliminates insomnia, and helps with weight loss.

These are very substantial claims for the little plant, and ongoing research is testing its effectiveness in cancer treatment and prevention, HIV treatment, and DNA restoration. If goji's effectiveness in these diseases is disproved, there is no evidence that the plant causes any harm to the human body. In other words, even if it doesn't help you, goji won't harm you. It's also safe for children and household canine and feline pets.
